Nothing says "love" more than a hand-knitted or hand-crocheted gift from the heart. Small projects made with a little yarn and a lot of heart are on the needles and hooks of knitters and crocheters everywhere for holidays, weddings, birthdays, Valentine's Day and "just because." Show us how you say "I love you" with yarn.

For Planet Purl's upcoming book "American Gift Knitting," we plan to select 51 designs representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Designs chosen win their author two copies of the book and a $100 online gift certificate to Dreamweaveryarns.com! We will be providing yarn for the selected projects.
